1. Environmentally Sensitive Lubricants
Description
Clarity®
Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW is designed to give maximum protection in both mobile and stationary hydraulic
equipment in industrial applications, as well as in environmentally sensitive areas. Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW
is formulated with synthetic base stock and an ashless, zinc-free additive system that provides exceptional oxidation
stability, water separability, foam suppression, and protection against wear, rust and corrosion. Clarity Synthetic
Hydraulic Oil AW is designed to meet or exceed the performance requirements of conventional antiwear hydraulic oils,
especially in severe, high-output applications such as axial piston pumps, while providing an additional level of safety in
case of leaks or incidental discharge to the environment.

Recommended Uses
Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW is designed for use in mobile and stationary hydraulic vane-, piston-, and gear-
type pumps. The antiwear performance of Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW makes it especially suited for high
performance industrial applications utilizing axial piston pumps where pressures may exceed 5000 psi. It has
a viscosity index much higher than typical conventional antiwear hydraulic oils, provides excellent flow at low
temperatures, and good oil film protection at high operating temperatures. Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW is
well suited for applications situated in environmentally sensitive areas. The ISO 32 and ISO 46 formulations of this
product have excellent low-temperature pumpability properties that extend to temperatures as low as –30°C (–22°F).
Clarity Synthetic Hydraulic Oil AW meets the most severe requirements of major hydraulic equipment manufacturers,
including Eaton-Vickers M-2950-S (mobile) and I-286-S (stationary), Eaton-Vickers 35VQ25 pump test, DIN 51524
Part 3 (HVLP), McGregor Hatch Cover Systems (VG 32), and Cincinnati Milacron P-68 (VG 32), P-70 (VG 46) and P-69
(VG 68). The ISO 46 grade is approved for Frank Mohn/FRAMO hydraulic cargo pumping systems.
Performance Benefits
1. Premium Performance
Ashless formulation provides excellent wear protec-
tion, rust and corrosion protection, hydrolytic stability,
water separability, foam inhibition, and filterability.
2. Long Oil Life
Outstanding ability of the synthetic base stock to
withstand oxidation at high operating temperatures
results in maximum service life for the oil.
3. Excellent Wear Protection at Startup
Minimum change in viscosity over wide operating
temperatures due to high viscosity index.
Multiviscosity performance minimizes the need to
change viscosity grades for seasonal changes.
4. Environmental Sensitivity
Very low acute aquatic toxicity to both fish and
invertebrates based on tests of water accommodated
fractions. Ashless formulation facilitates conventional
recycling programs.
5. Excellent Low Temperature Pumpability
The ISO 32 and ISO 46 formulations are specifically
developed to ensure good low temperature fluidity for
low temperature operations as low as –30°C (–22°F).
6. Zinc-free
Suited for applications involving yellow metals found
in axial piston pumps.
